| 1 | + | 1 | + | 1 | = ? |
| 1 + x(b - a) + x(c - a) | 1 + x(a - b) + x(c - b) | 1 + x(b - c) + x(a - c) |
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Given Exp. = |
|
| = | xa | + | xb | + | xc |
| (xa + xb + xc) | (xa + xb + xc) | (xa + xb + xc) |
| = | (xa + xb + xc) |
| (xa + xb + xc) |
= 1.

First solve the denominator using LCM the answer you get. Find its reciprocal.

Can anybody explain the question in easier way?

From the second step:
x^a(x^a+x^b+x^c)^2+x^b(x^a+x^b+x^c)^2+x^c(x^a+x^b+x^c)^2/(x^a+x^b+x^c)^3
Then take (x^a+X^b+x^c)^2 common from numerator and denominator and cut them both from top and bottom. Then we get step 3.
x^a(x^a+x^b+x^c)^2+x^b(x^a+x^b+x^c)^2+x^c(x^a+x^b+x^c)^2/(x^a+x^b+x^c)^3
Then take (x^a+X^b+x^c)^2 common from numerator and denominator and cut them both from top and bottom. Then we get step 3.

In the second line just take the LCM. and make the adjustment accordingly.
Its very simple try it on paper itself.
You guys will get the answer.
Thank you.

How do you solve the second step? Really confusing, please do it the long way so we can understand.

The second step is derived from first step by multiplying numerator & denominator of each of the 3 components with x^a, x^b & x^c respectively.

I did not understood second step from last.
Can you please explain in detail(only last two steps)
How do you consider x^a+x^b+x^c in numerator ?(x^a+x^b+x^c/x^a+x^b+x^c)
